Penguin Classics: A Frugal Alternative

There is nothing prettier than a collection

of the newly designed covers of

an old standard,

Penguin Classics.

Two of my daughters asked for several editions for Christmas

the last two years, and I happily agreed.

I have an alternate option , however,

for the thrifter in you.

Do these look familiar?

All you need to do is get rid of these-

and you will find beautiful colors

and designs that are just as pretty as Penguin Classics,

and just a little more ‘stately’.

Who knew Reader’s Digests looked like this?

or this,

or this,

or even this.

It isn’t visible in the photo, but there is an edge of gold on the pages.
 

One last selling point (literally)?

The last time I looked at Reader’s Digests at

a local thrift store,

they were

10cents…
each.


Sold.
